Art Therapy

Art Therapy

Art Therapy is an established mental health profession that integrates the creative process of making art with models of psychotherapy. This improves and enhances the physical, cognitive, emotional, and/or social well being and functioning in residents in all stages of dementia.

At Parc Provence, certified art therapists use both group and individual sessions to promote relaxation, positive moods, cognitive stimulation, memory recall, and build self-esteem. Art can also be used as an alternate means of communication that is of great benefit to our dementia residents.

When used in conjunction with reminiscence activities, art therapy shows our memory care residents that their stories have value and are interesting to others. It also allows them an opportunity to add beauty to the world and find moments of joy in the process.

Creative arts therapies are one of the many ways Parc Provence helps residents see their individual potential and enjoy each day to the fullest. Every year, Parc Provence hosts an Art Exposition to showcase our residents’ work. For a brochure highlighting more information about this exposition and the field of Art Therapy, please call Parc Provence at 314-542-2500.
